The losers

The losers

 
while watching the last match between Pakistan and west indies in T-20 world cup few very interesting  observation comes in to my mind which I want to share.
 
Did you notice that how much things are commercialize now, is there any thing called "consumer rights" ?.
 
we all saw the match on TV using PTV Sports or any other sports channel, do you feel that actually you are watching advertisement all the times and in between for few minutes you can see cricket match and some time it is very hard to understand what's happened because when you are watching advertisement wicket was fallen , how  ? you have to wait and may you get a chance to  see replay of that if it is not time for an other commercial break.
 
Coming back to match we lose the match not big deal one team should win and one loose that's fine but the way we  accept the defeat is the actual representation of  our  character. From  last 30 years or so I am watching Pakistan cricket team doing mostly same in big tournaments and at the end we sit down and criticize them loudly and before that whenever we  get success specially against India , Oh my God our team become hero's, super man , shaheen  bhla bhla.
 
The question that comes to my mind is this has  something to do with our national psyche.
 
the answer is yes if you go through the history pages you will see on each occasion we got into trouble we accepted the defeat long before actually we were defeated and start Criticism (our favorite subject as nation) you did that and he did that we did that and A is innocent and Y is culpable.
 
Lets comes to 20014
 
see we are defeated by so called Pakistani Taliban (TTP) are we?
 
Listen to popular political leaders on tv talk show and you will hear, some on shouting Taliban was created in Benazir Bhutto Government other shouts more loudly no it was general zia who is responsible for all this Shit ,Nawz is supporter of TTP, Imran khan is part of TTP , Pakistan religious parties are actually behind all this bhla bhla.
 
Now sit down relax and analyze this  question are we really defeated by TTP, the answer is Big NO
then what's going on ??
 
our national psyche is forcing us to accept the defeat before it happened and we all making our mind to follow that and  for preparation we are starting Criticism just to show  that we are doing something for that or we did out best , but due to A or B it was failed.
 
There is an English saying I quote
 
"How you respond to the challenge in the second half will determine what you become after the game, whether you are a winner or a loser"
 
 
we are actually in the second half now .
 
lets see What we are doing, our Government is trying to start negotiations with TTP , what I learn the purpose of this negotiations is to compel Taliban to stop terrorist  activities ,  laid down their weapon , become good citizen and in return we will do what ..??
 
Govt. narrative is that in this way we will control law and order situation and it will be peace in our country but they are not answering where will these Taliban go and what they do and what about the objectives they have ?? but they are sure that by negotiations we can win this war as we were sure that with spin attack we can defeat west indies
 
The threat posed by TTP isn't just law & order it's a full-blown assault on the Pakistan dream. Where's the incentive to play fair and do well, when what we see rewarded at the highest levels of society is failure, stupidity, incompetence and meanness?
 
 If this is what winning in our system looks like,
 
who doesn't want to be a loser?
